� LED: There are four kinds of LED, Power, Status, WAN and LAN, to indicate different status of the system.

� WAN1/WAN2: The two WAN ports are connected to a network which is not managed by the LANPRO LP-NC1

system, and this port can be used to connect the ATU-Router of the ADSL, the port of a cable modem, or a

switch or a hub on the LAN of a company.

� LAN1~LAN8: Clients’ machines connect to LANPRO LP-NC1 via LAN ports. Each LAN port can be configured

to one of the two roles, controlled or uncontrolled. The differences of these two roles for a client connected to

are:

� Clients connected to the controlled port need to be authenticated to access network.

� Clients connected to uncontrolled port don’t need to be authenticated to access network and can access the

web management interface.

Rear Panel

� Reset: Press this button to restart the system.

� Console: The system can be configured via a serial console port. The administrator can use a terminal

emulation program such as Microsoft’s HyperTerminal to login to the configuration console interface to change

admin password or monitor system status, etc.

8

3.1.4 Installation Steps

Please follow the following steps to install LANPRO LP-NC1:

1. Connect the 12V power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel. The Power LED should be on to indicate

a proper connection.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN1 Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to

an ADSL modem, a cable modem or a switch/hub of the network. The LED of WAN1 port should be on to

indicate a proper connection.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN5~LAN8 Ports on the front panel. Connect the other end of the

Ethernet cable to an administrator’s PC or a notebook. The LED of the connected port should be on to indicate a

proper connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Uncontrolled Port.)

4. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN1~LAN4 Ports on the front panel. Connect the other end of the

Ethernet cable to a client PC, AP or switch in managed network. The LED of the connected port should be on to

indicate a proper connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Controlled Port.)

Attention:

1. LANPRO LP-NC1 supports Auto Sensing MDI/MDIX. You may use either straight through or cross over cable to

connect the Ethernet Port.

2. Usually a straight cable could be applied when LANPRO LP-NC1 connects to an Access Point which supports

automatic crossover. If after the AP hardware resets, the LANPRO LP-NC1 could not be able to connect to the

AP while connecting with a straight cable, the user have to pull out and plug-in the straight cable again. This

scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.

After the hardware of LANPRO LP-NC1 is installed completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following

sections.�

the arrow keys, so that the terminal simulation program will send some messages to the system and the

welcome screen or the main menu should appear. If you are still unable to see the welcome screen or the main

menu of the console, please check the connection of the cables and the settings of the terminal simulation

program.


139

� Utilities for network debugging

The console interface provides several utilities to assist the Administrator to check the system conditions

and to debug any problems. The utilities are described as follow:

� Ping host (IP): By sending ICMP echo request to a specified host and wait for the response to test

the network status.

� Trace routing path: Trace and inquire the routing path to a specific target.

� Display interface settings: It displays the information of each network interface setting including the

MAC address, IP address, and netmask.

� Display the routing table: The internal routing table of the system is displayed, which may help to

confirm the Static Route settings.

� Display ARP table: The internal ARP table of the system is displayed.

� Display system up time: The system live time (time for system being turn on) is displayed.

� Check service status: Check and display the status of the system.

� Set device into “safe mode”: If administrator is unable to use Web Management Interface via the

browser for the system failed inexplicitly. Administrator can choose this utility and set LANPRO

LP-NC1 into safe mode, then administrator can management this device with browser again.

� Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the NTP protocol

and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not support manual setup for its

internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock through the NTP.

� Print the kernel ring buffer: It is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. The program helps

users to print out their boot-up messages instead of copying the messages by hand.

� Main menu: Go back to the main menu.


140

� Change admin password

Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of null modem, the

system also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When using a null modem to connect to

the system console, we do not need to enter administrator’s password to enter the console management

interface. But connecting the system by SSH, we have to enter the username and password.

The username is “admin” and the default password is also “admin”, which is the same as for the web

management interface. You can use this option to change the administrator’s password. Even if you

forgot the password and are unable to log in the management interface from the web or the remote end of

the SSH, you can still use the null modem to connect the console management interface and set the

administrator’s password again.

Caution: Although it does not require a username and password for the connection via the serial port, the same

management interface can be accessed via SSH. Therefore, we recommend you to immediately change the

LANPRO LP-NC1 Admin username and password after logging in the system for the first time.

� Reload factory default

Choosing this option will reset the system configuration to the factory defaults.

� Restart LANPRO LP-NC1

Choosing this option will restart LANPRO LP-NC1.

Appendix D. IPSec VPN Termination

LANPRO LP-NC1 has equipped with IPSec VPN feature starts from released version v1.00. To fully utilize the

nature supported IPSec VPN by Microsoft Windows XP SP2(with patch) and Windows 2000 operating systems,

LANPRO LP-NC1 implement IPSec VPN tunneling technology between client’s windows devices and LANPRO

LP-NC1 itself, no matter of through wired or wireless network.

By pushing down ActiveX to the client’s Windows device from LANPRO LP-NC1, no extra client software to be

installed except ActiveX, in which a so-called “clientless” IPSec VPN setting is configured automatically. At the end

of this setup, a build-in IPSec VPN feature was enabled to be ready to serve once it is called to be setup.

The design goal is to eliminate the configuration difficulty from IPSec VPN users. At the client side, the IPSec VPN

implementation of LANPRO LP-NC1 is based on ActiveX and the built-in IPSec VPN client of Windows OS.


151

1. ActiveX component The ActiveX is a software component running inside Internet Explorer. The ActiveX component can be checked

by the following windows.

From Windows Internet Explorer, click “Manage add-ons” button inside “Programs” page under “Tools” to show

the add-ons programs list. You can see VPNClient.ipsec was enabled.

During the first-time login to LANPRO LP-NC1, Internet Explorer will ask user to download the ActiveX

component of IPSec VPN. This ActiveX component once downloaded will be running paralleled with the “Login

Success Page” after the page being brought up successfully. The ActiveX component helps to setup the IPSec

VPN tunnel between client’s device and the LANPRO LP-NC1 controller, and to check the validity of the IPSec

VPN tunnel between them. If the connection is down, the ActiveX component will detect the broken link and

decompose the IPSec tunnel. Once the IPSec VPN tunnel was built, any packet sent will be encrypted. Without

connecting to the original IPSec VPN tunnel, user or client device has no alternative to gain network connection

beyond this. The design of LANPRO LP-NC1’s IPSec VPN feature directly solves possible data security leak

problem between client and the controller via either wireless or wired connection without extra hardware or client

software installed.


152

2. Limitations The limitation of the client side due to ActiveX and Windows OS includes:

a. Internet Connection Firewall of Windows XP or Windows XP SP1 is not compatible with IPSec protocol. It

shall be turned off to allow IPSec packets to pass through.

b. Without patch, ICMP (Ping) and PORT command of FTP can not work in Windows XP SP2.

c. The Forced termination (through CTRL+ALT+DEL, Task Manager) of the Internet Explorer will stop the

running of ActiveX. It causes IPSec tunnel can’t be cleared properly at client’s device. A reboot of client’s

device is needed to clear the IPSec tunnel.

d. The crash of Windows Internet Explorer may cause the same result.


153

3. Internet Connection Firewall In Windows XP and Windows XP SP1, the Internet Connection Firewall is not compatible with IPSec. Internet

Connection Firewall will drop packets from tunneling of IPSec VPN.

Suggestion: Please TURN OFF Internet Connection Firewall feature or upgrade the Windows OS into Windows XP

SP2.

4. ICMP and Active Mode FTP On Windows XP SP2 without patching by KB889527, it will drop ICMP packets from IPSec tunnel. This problem

can be fixed by upgrading patch KB889527. Before enabling IPSec VPN function on client device, please

access the patch from Microsoft’s web at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;889527.

This patch also fixes the problem of supporting active mode FTP inside IPSec VPN tunnel of Windows XP SP2.

Suggestion: Please UPDATE client’s Windows XP SP2 with this patch.


154

5. The Termination of ActiveX The ActiveX component for IPSec VPN is running paralleled with the web page of “Login Success”. Unless user

decides to close the session and to disconnect with LANPRO LP-NC1, the following conditions or behaviors of

using browser shall be avoided in order to maintain the built IPSec VPN tunnel always alive.

Reasons may cause the Internet Explorer to stop the ActiveX unexpectedly as followings:

a. The crash of Internet Explorer on running ActiveX

Suggestion: Please reboot client’s computer, once Windows service is resumed, go through the login process

again.

b. Terminate the Internet Explorer Task from Windows Task Manager

Suggestion: Don’t terminate this VPN task of Internet Explorer.


155

c. There are some cases of Windows messages by which LANPRO LP-NC1 will hint current user to:

(1) Close the Windows Internet Explorer,

(2) Click “logout” button on “login success” page,

(3) Click “back” or “refresh” of the same Internet Explorer,

(4) Enter new URL in the same Internet Explorer,

(5) Open a URL from the other application (e.g. email of Outlook) that occupies this existing Internet

Explorer.

That shall all cause the termination of IPSec VPN tunneling if user chooses to click “Yes”. The user has

to log in again to regain the network access.

Suggestion: Click “Cancel” if you do not intend to stop the IPSec VPN connection yet.

6. Non-supported OS and Browser

In current version, Windows Internet Explorer is the only browser supported by LANPRO LP-NC1.Windows XP

and Windows 2000 are the only two supported OS along with this release.


156

Appendix E. Proxy Setting for Hotspot

HotSpot is a place such as a coffee shop, hotel, or a public area where provides Wi-Fi service for mobile and

temporary users. HotSpot is usually implemented without complicated network architecture and using some proxy

servers provided by Internet Service Providers.

In Hotspots, users usually enable their proxy setting of the browsers such as IE and Firefox. Therefore, so we need

to set some proxy configuration in the Gateway need to be set. Please follow the steps to complete the proxy

configuration�

1. Login Gateway by using “admin”.

2. Click the Network Configuration from top menu and the homepage of the Network Configuration will

appear.

3. Click the Proxy Server Properties from left menu and the homepage of the Proxy Server Properties will

appear.


157

4. Add the ISP’s proxy Server IP and Port into External Proxy Server Setting.


158

5. Enable Built-in Proxy Server in Internal Proxy Server Setting.

6. Click Apply to save the settings.


159

Appendix F. Proxy Setting for Enterprise

Enterprises usually isolate their intranet and internet by using more elaborated network architecture. Many

enterprises have their own proxy server which is usually at intranet or DMZ under the firewall protection.

In enterprises, network managers or MIS staff may often ask their users to enable their proxy setting of the browsers

such as IE and Firefox to reduce the internet access loading. Therefore some proxy configurations in the Gateway

need to be set.

Caution�Some enterprises will automatically redirect packets to proxy server by using core switch or Layer 7

devices. By the way, the clients don’t need to enable their browsers’ proxy settings, and administrators don’t need to

set any proxy configuration in the Gateway.

Please follow the steps to complete the proxy configuration��

� Gateway setting 1. Login Gateway by using “admin”.

2. Click the Network Configuration from top menu and the homepage of the Network Configuration will

appear.


160

3. Click the Proxy Server Properties from left menu and the homepage of the Proxy Server Properties will

appear.

4. Add your proxy Server IP and Port into External Proxy Server Setting.


161

5. Disable Built-in Proxy Server in Internal Proxy Server Setting.

6. Click Apply to save the settings.

Warning�If your proxy server is disabled, it will make the user authentication operation abnormal. When users open

the browser, the login page won’t appear because the proxy server is down. Please make sure your proxy server is

always available.


162

� Client setting It is necessary for clients to add default gateway IP address into proxy exception information so the user login

successful page can show up normally.

1. Use command “ipconfig” to get Default Gateway IP Address.

2. Open browser to add default gateway IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.254) and logout page IP address

“1.1.1.1” into proxy exception information.

� For I.E


163

� For Firefox


164

Appendix G. DHCP Relay

LANPRO LP-NC1 supports DHCP Relay defined according to RFC 3046. For scaling reasons, it is advantageous to

set up an external DHCP server other than having the internal DHCP server implemented in LANPRO LP-NC1 to

assign an IP. When forwarding client-originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server, a new option called the “Relay

Agent Information option” is inserted by the DHCP relay agent. External DHCP servers that recognize the Relay

Agent Information option may use the information to implement IP address or other parameter assignment policies.

The external DHCP server then echoes the option back to the relay agent in server-to-client replies, and the relay

agent strips the option before forwarding the reply to the client.

A graphic example of connecting 2 gateways with an external DHCP server:

Please note that the Router and Gateway 1 connected to the DHCP Server have to be under the same network

segment as DHCP Server.

When a client requests IP address from Gateway 1 Public LAN through the build-in DHCP relay agent of LANPRO

LP-NC1, the DHCP server will receive a DHCP REQUEST packet with Option 82 (a code defined in RFC 3046).

Also a Circuit ID will be sent by LANPRO LP-NC1 when DHCP relay is enabled to define where the packet is sent

from, and this Circuit ID should have a format of MAC_IP, such as 00:E0:22:DF:AC:DF_192.168.1.254. Therefore,

when the external DHCP server gets the request packet, it knows where to reply to and which IP to assign.


165

Here is an example of configuration file of the DHCP server:

From the file, client that connects to LANPRO LP-NC1 sends out a DHCP request. DHCP relay function in LANPRO

LP-NC1 is enabled and sending a Circuit ID 00:90:0B:07:60:91_192.168.1.254 to the external DHCP server. When

DHCP server gets the Circuit ID, it recognizes that the request is sent from g1_public_lan and thus assigns the client

a DNS server of 169.95.1.1, an IP that can be in the range of 192.168.1.30 and 192.168.1.50, a default gateway of

192.168.1.254, and a subnet-mask of 255.255.255.0.


166

Appendix H. Session Limit and Session Log

� Session Limit To prevent ill-behaved clients or malicious software from using up system’s connection resources,

administrators will have to restrict the number of concurrent sessions that a user can establish.

� The maximum number of concurrent sessions (TCP and UDP) for each user can be specified in the Global

policy, which applies to authenticated users, users on a non-authenticated port, privileged users, and

clients in DMZ zones.

� When the number of a user’s sessions reaches the session limit (a choice of Unlimited, 10, 25, 50, 100,

200, 350, and 500), the user will be implicitly suspended upon receipt of any new connection request. In

this case, a record will be logged to the Syslog server specified in the Notification Configuration.

� Since this basic protection mechanism may not be able to protect the system from all malicious DoS

attacks, it is strongly recommended to build some immune capabilities (such as IDS or IPS solutions) in the

network deployment to protect the network in daily operation.

� Session Log The system can record connection details of each user accessing the Internet. In addition, the log data can be

sent out to a specified Syslog Server, Email Box or FTP Server based on pre-defined interval time.

� The following table shows the fields of a session log record.

Field Description

Date and Time The date and time that the session is established

Session Type [New]: This is the newly established session.

[Blocked]: This session is blocked by a Firewall rule.

Username The account name (with postfix) of the user; It shows “N.A.” if the user

or device does not need to log in with a username. For example, the

user or device is on a non-authenticated port or on the privileged

MAC/IP list. Note: Only 31 characters are available for the

combination of Session Type plus Username. Please change the

account name accordingly, if the name is not identifiable in the record.

Protocol The communication protocol of session: TCP or UDP

MAC The MAC address of the user’s computer or device

SIP The source IP address of the user’s computer or device

SPort The source port number of the user’s computer or device

DIP The destination IP address of the user’s computer or device

DPort The destination port number of the user’s computer or device


167

� The following table shows an example of the session log data.

Jul 20 12:35:05 2007 [New]user1@local TCP MAC=00:09:6b:cd:83:8c SIP=10.1.1.37 SPort=1626 DIP=203.125.164.132 DPort=80
